about

'Slave To My Mind' provides a raw insight into Amalie’s own experiences with mental illness and includes lyrics that have been taken directly from her personal journal. Bravely tackling how negative thinking can affect progression, it confronts how she, as a woman in the 21st century, feels the need to punish herself on a daily basis for not being good nor beautiful enough. Its melancholic R&B sound reinforces the song’s frank lyrics, with this debut EP boldly showcasing her desire to confront powerful topics within her music.

lyrics

Stinking thinking
The illness has spread
Reading fear-drivin’ subtitles
That’s in my head

I don’t think I’m good enough (no)
I’m standing without a love (oh)
Feels like I cannot get lose
My eyes are vomiting my blues
Following the thought that I grow
It’s not good for me to be
Alone

I’m a slave to my mind
Running around all the time
A misunderstood truth
That puts me in a mood
I’m a slave to my mind

(I just need a moment)

Overwhelmed by emotions
Perfumed on my neck
Google tells me I should meditate
But my patience is tangle wreck

I don’t think I’m good enough (no)
I’m standing without a love (oh)
Feels like I cannot get lose
My eyes are vomiting my blues
Following the thought that I grow
It’s not good for me to be alone

I’m a slave to my mind
Running around all the time
A misunderstood truth
That puts me in a mood
I’m a slave to my mind

(I’m a slave to my mind)
(oh)
(ah)
(I’m a slave to my)
I’m a slave, I’m a slave
(I’m a slave to my)
To my mind

I’m a slave to my mind
Running around all the time
A misunderstood truth
That puts me in a mood
I’m a slave to my mind
I’m a slave to my mind
Running around all the time
A misunderstood truth
That puts me in a mood
I’m a slave to my mind
